How much yarn do I need to make this?
I feel like the picture doesn’t go with this pattern. I have made this unicorn twice and not only is this pattern incomplete but it looks nothing like the picture.
I made this and the pattern and the picture do not match. Don’t waist your time. Pick a different pattern.
Where are the instructions for sewing this together?
It appears that when you make the body you crochet the arms and legs into it, however there aren’t instructions on where to put the tail, ears, mane, or horn. So, I will be going off of the pictures to try to see where the creator put them and then I might adjust it to make it look how I want it to. Hope that helps, that is what I was thinking 🙂
I’ve made this unicorn twice and I didn’t find any problems with the pattern!
Both came out exactly like the picture!!
Hey! Do you know how to put the arms and legs on??
I’m not sure if you put the leg down and sew it on or if you put it upwards. Do you know what I mean? xx
What does R14 on the body mean? I’ve never seen a pattern say 18sc+2sc. I’ve tried looking it up and I still don’t understand this row.
2 sc are additional sc to place the arms in the correct place.
Where these 2sc should be done?
J’adore merci beaucoup <3
